Chronograph Bag Limit

Re: Chronograph Bag Limit

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 308sako</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It has long been established that the "bag limit" you refer to is one (1) per lifetime. Often shooters are mistaken by the facts that there is neither a closed season, nor do you have to draw a tag to stalk and shoot the elusive chronograph. This all of course leads shooters to think otherwise. Additionally, should one simply "wound" a chronograph the African sporting traditions and rules will be invoked and there will be a full charge for this misplacement of discharged projectile.

LMAO!
 
Re: Chronograph Bag Limit

Me and my buddy luckily bought the exact same model. The digital screen on mine quite working and he shot his. So, between the two of us, we have one working chronograph.
 
Re: Chronograph Bag Limit

we were chronographing Corbon ammo for the SH Cup several years ago and a bud had a 35P. He insisted on shooting my rifle (instead of me) through the chrono because he didn't want anything to happen to the Ohler. He then proceeded to shoot is own chronograph with my rifle lol

EPIC FAIL.

Here at the local range, the firing line sits a good deal above the actual range. To get a chrono at the proper height for the bullet flight path, you need to have a pretty tall tripod.

Well some joker showed up at the range with his new-to-him 35P for "load development." He was shooting factory new FGMM so I don't know what kind of "load development" he was doing exactly, and I knew this was going to be an experience. He set up the 35P and was bummed when the included stands weren't tall enough. So he ran to wally world and was back an hour later with a new tripod.

Instead of having three expandable legs, this thing had non-expandable legs and a wicked tall center shaft that extended at least 6 feet up. So basically it was a table top style tripod with one single shaft that went way up and put his 35P at the bullet path level.

First thing I said: "Brother, what if you nick a sky screen with with a round? That thing is so top heavy it will fall right over."

He assured me he was a fine shot and knew what he was doing. That may be the case, but I'll never know. Two seconds after we got back to the line, a slight breeze kicked up and his new-to-him 35P had a untimely encounter with the rock hard soil of CA, becoming a collection of plastic pieces...
